THIS IS SO WRONG
The fact that John Ritter is dead is just wrong on so many levels.
He was only 54 years old. He had a very successful sitcom on ABC with "8 Simple Rules for My Teenage Daughter". He had a wonderful career, with most people remembering him as Jack Tripper from the late 70s-early 80s hysterical comedy, "Three's Company". While I have watched "Three's Company" reruns over the years, I will remember Ritter as Ben Healy in the "Problem Child" movies. I'll never forget the sight of him walking into Junior's room in the first Problem Child movie and going insane. "Here's Daddy!!!"
That's what John Ritter was able to do, he was able to make you laugh. There are a lot of guys out there in the entertainment world who can't do that, i.e. Jim Bellushi. But Ritter did that, and a lot more. He will be missed.
Johnny Cash is also dead. Do yourself a favor today and listen to his cover of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage". Chris Cornell called it the "highlight of his musical career". That's powerful stuff right there, when you call somebody covering YOUR work the highlight of your musical career.
There will never be another John Ritter, and there definitely won't be another Johnny Cash.
RIP and condolences to their families. What a sad day, indeed.
